Medium Cage Dimensions

Exterior: 30" x 54" when assembled with grids (not included in this item) you will need a table space of about 2.5 feet by 4.5 feet to accommodate this cage.

Coro Height Preference

This refers to the HEIGHT of the COROPLAST on ONE long-side of the cage -- for the back wall.

6" (inches) is standard. 6" sides all the way

around maximizes ventilation and visibility, and it is generally high

enough to keep in bedding for most guinea pigs. Also, a water bottle

spout resting on the top of the 6" Coroplast is a good height for guinea

pigs to drink from.

12" (inches) is good if the long side of your cage

is going up against a wall. This helps prevent hay (and in some cases

bedding) from being kicked up and getting stuck against the wall. You

can always cut it down later if you decide it doesn't work for you. The

12" option is just to help you keep your floor and wall cleaner in some

circumstances.

NOTE: We do NOT offer 12" walls all the way around because we do NOT

recommend it. It cuts off too much air circulation for the guinea pigs.

In addition, even if you wanted it regardless of our advice, coroplast

is only 48 inches wide and that would require 51 inches.

Coroplast Base Includes

4mm Coroplast bottom in your choice of 15 colors!

27" x 50" x 6" sides for 2x3.5 Grid cageThe base is cut and scored so you only have to secure the flaps.

(Coroplast base is scored and folded for shipping, which makes an

indented "crush" line, but it does not affect the function of the cage.

It's barely noticeable when fully assembled.)

(16) Snap-in Plastic Rivets to fasten flaps.

NEW! Rivets on the Flaps!

We've updated our cage design to make it even easier and more secure than ever! All of our Coroplast bases now come with nice, clean holes -- professionally punched in the appropriate locations. We include our new, easy-snap-inplastic rivets for securing the base.

The rivets, while very secure when in place, can also be popped back open with a little separation pressure should you need to dissemble your cage and are generally reuseable.

How many Guinea Pigs will fit in a 2x3.5?

1-2 guinea pigs. This cage is too small for 3 or more guinea pigs.

The 2 guinea pigs should be a BONDED PAIR. If you have two new males who have not been together yet in a pet home, then in all likelihood, this cage will be too small. Or if you have two guinea pigs who do not get along -- either they bicker all the time or occasionally -- then this cage is too small.

This cage size may not be divided to accommodate two guinea pigs who do not get along, nor is it appropriate for separating two guinea pigs of the opposite sex. It is just not big enough for that.

Guinea Pigs should have a Friend

Just a note that guinea pigs are a social, herd animal and are happier and healthier in pairs or groups. If you only have one, please consider the best interests of your pet and adopt a same-sex friend.
